I genuinely enjoy my husband’s company. I think he is hilarious, smart, thoughtful, and good-looking. When we were dating, we could talk for hours and never ran out of things to say. Once married, some of my favorite memories with him are our road trip conversations, dreaming of our unknown future together. However, since the […]

I usually try to keep my posts light and lean on the side of funny. However, I really feel compelled to broach this subject. Unless you have been living under a rock… which sometimes seems VERY tempting… you can’t escape what is happening in our world today in regards to sexual inappropriateness, harassment, misconduct, etc. […]

2017 Was a Year, Wasn’t It? From tragedies across the country to our own backyard, 2017 seems heavier than year’s past.

Before I married my Catholic husband we agreed that our children would be raised as Jews. My grandparents were both Holocaust survivors and their experiences, […]

Whether it’s baking Christmas cookies with your children or decorating the Christmas tree together while playing the family’s favorite Christmas album, the holiday season is full of sweet memories and traditions passed down from generation to generation. I cannot imagine a Christmas without helping my dad cut out festive shapes in cookie dough and assisting […]

By November, you can already feel it in the air… What is “it”? The holiday spirit! The air is (finally!) starting to cool down, Christmas decorations are taking over Hobby Lobby, soon the kids will be out of school, and you’ll be traveling and filling up your calendar with events. Before we fill up every […]

As a full-time work at home mom, people often act surprised to hear that my daughter also attends daycare full-time. It seems as though their expectation is that she would stay home since I happen to be home {but working} as well. With flexible work environments becoming more and more popular, I’ve been wondering what […]
